I hesitate to call this a 'build' since it's really just putting a module in a box, but wanted to let people know that this this little Hammond enclosure for $20 fits this unit quite nicely.
It could use some ventilation holes at the top, but other than that works great. I opted to temporarily stand off the lid just a bit to let some heat escape as necessary, but will probably drill out a few 2" holes and put a fan grill when I have a chance.
The timer relay for the remote switch was probably unnecessary, but I had one laying around, so I just used that. I used an m8 3-pin connector and cable like this McMaster-Carr for the remote cable and connector. Again, not the cheapest or most obvious choice, but I had some laying around.
Opted to use a switch between XLR and rca with a resistor and cap as noted in hypex application note about the pin 1 problem.
Anyway, the whole thing cost barely $200. Haven't done any critical listening just yet, but overall a simple little project if you don't mind drilling some holes and making a few connections.

link to modules source?
ideally in NA but really anywhere
Scavenging from those plate amps with DSP is an alternative, but seems a waste
Unless anyone knows how to feed them, as is off DC whatever voltage

Hi,
Links / datasheets are available in Hypex official site. Since I've been living in France, no idea for the NA. I am using my Hypex Ncore and TPA32XX amps with a double AK4497 Dac. Sound amazing !

I mean to purchase!
This model seems to only be sold to OEMs
unless you buy the Fusion plate amps and cannibalize

I build custom AV devices for a niche industry so have an oem license. I can't really advertise a big group diy buy but if a few people pm me perhaps I can arrange a one time small group order of a few modules.
Re-reading the license agreement, I see my above post was in poor judgement, and even a small order would be in violation of the oem agreement. This was for a prototype for a larger system, and in retrospect should not have been publicized until it is fully commercialized.
